If you want to be inspired by the courageous Myrna and seek impact in small ways, this is the place for you. Myrna is an incredible woman who does anything and everything, the real question is what doesn't she do? My time here was spent taking off some responsibilities of their shoulders such as feeding the beautiful beings of their home, and generally cleaning and assisting in the farm. If you love animals, aren't afraid to get dirty, this is the place to go. Both Myrna and Paco were very welcoming, I also felt very safe in their home. Thank you both for welcoming me and for what you do! <3

Hi Eliana, thanks for everything, these weeks were teamwork, and even you had a few moments little health problems, you were also laughing and helping. The animals escaped to your room, while they were feeling great with you.. Gracias y hasta siemore

Oh woow what can i say??? It was such an amazing experience, from the moment they picked me up at the airport i felt like home. Myrna and Paco are such kind and amazing people! The work was simple and you have a lot of free time, working and living with the dogs we're fantastic but remember, you will 100% want to adopt at least one 😆 do it if you can! Tho its a little bit hard to get around from there, Myrna and Paco are very open to show you places and help you to get around and explore! I miss them and the dogs already, cant wait to go back! Thank you for everything 🫶🏼🐾

I stayed with my friend at Anne's shelter for two weeks. We were working 4 hours a day (from 8:30-12:30), we were cleaning the property and the work wasnt easy but it was only 4 hours so not that long. After that Anne took us to the beach few times and it was really nice. The animals were also very cute:)) The thing we didnt really like were the conditions in which we lived but you have to be prepared for that when you go to help in an animal shelter as its normal that the space gets dirty really fast. But overall it was an amazing experience and I really liked the whole trip:)

Hi Maria, it was amazing having you and your friend with you. We agree that we so many animals it is imposible having the place 24 hours clean. Thanks again

It was my first trip with worldpackers and it was really perfect. The work is not hard and its only 4 hours per day so i had the rest of the day for exploring the island. The only thing that i would change were living conditions but as its dog shelter it is obvious that place is not to luxury. Overall it was really great experience and i will miss all of the dogs🐶

Horrible. There are two shelters: Myrna's is said to be very good, but I was at Anne's. The contact with the animals was good but there is seriously something wrong with this place.

Sorry to hear that from you. Well, as you were expert in horses we were happy you could help us with them. When there are problems, we are pleased to know about it, the problem is that a shelter with soo much abandoned animals without economical help is not a luxury place, and we are happy to receive help, but we can not know how people are. So, thanks again for your help and we hope that you feel better in other places. You never told what has to be changed in your opinion.
